On their website you can purchase fishing and hunting licenses, find information about where and how to safely and responsibly view wildlife, fish, hunt and trap, or download a wide range of fish and wildlife information, including catch and release.

The ADFG mission is to protect, maintain, and improve the fish, game, and aquatic plant resources of the state, and manage their use and development in the best interest of the economy and the well-being of the people of the state, consistent with the sustained yield principle.
